[[METHODOLOGY]]

To unravel the cosmic conundrum of Saturn's potential influence on biomass power generation in India, our research team embarked on a methodological odyssey that combined elements of astrophysical scrutiny and earthly energy analysis. The data utilized in this study were primarily sourced from Astropy, a celestial powerhouse of computational wizardry, and the Energy Information Administration, which, unlike Saturn's rings, provides a wealth of terrestrial energy data. The period of data collection spanned from 1999 to 2021, allowing us to capture the celestial tango between Saturn and India's biomass power landscape over a substantial timeframe.

The first celestial puzzle piece involved pinpointing the precise orbital distance of Saturn from the Sun throughout the specified timeframe. However, we encountered a cosmic conundrum in calculating Saturn's distance, as it fluctuates due to its elliptical orbit. Thus, our team had to engage in what could only be described as a battle of astronomical proportions against the complexities of celestial mechanics, employing sophisticated algorithms within Astropy to derive the average orbital distance of Saturn over each year. These calculations, akin to wielding a cosmic abacus, were essential in establishing the celestial variable for our analysis.

Simultaneously, on the terrestrial front, the biomass power generation landscape in India presented its own set of challenges. The data from the Energy Information Administration revealed fluctuations in biomass power output, presumably reflecting the terrestrial fluctuations in energy production and consumption. Our team navigated through this earthly terrain, parsing through the statistical underbrush to extract the nuggets of biomass power generation data relevant to our investigation. However, distinguishing the signal of Saturn's influence from the terrestrial noise was a Herculean task that required careful statistical scrutiny and a touch of cosmic intuition.

Having gathered the celestial and terrestrial datasets, our methodological voyage transitioned into the realm of statistical analysis, weaving together the threads of celestial influence and terrestrial energy dynamics. Employing statistical software that could be considered the Cassini probe of data analysis tools, we calculated the correlation coefficient to quantify the relationship between Saturn's orbital distance and biomass power generation in India. The statistical rigour employed in this analysis was akin to unraveling the cosmic knot of causation, teasing out the nuances of correlation amidst the celestial noise and terrestrial hum.

In accounting for potential confounding variables, our approach yielded a robust yet whimsical analytical framework that straddled the celestial and terrestrial domains, tethering the cosmic dance of Saturn to the earthly pirouette of biomass power generation in India. While the methodology may seem like a fusion of disparate energies—like attempting to reconcile solar power with the gravitas of a black hole—our research team diligently navigated through this cosmic ballet, shedding light on the celestial forces potentially at play in India's sustainable energy landscape.

[[CONCLUSION]]

In this cosmic exploration, we have unveiled a stellar correlation between the orbital dalliances of Saturn and the terrestrial jive of biomass power generation in India. Our findings evoke a sense of wonder and cosmic whimsy, as they highlight the profound influence of celestial mechanics on earthly energy dynamics. While we may not have discovered a direct pipeline from Saturn's rings to India's biomass power plants (a missed opportunity for interplanetary power transfers, if you ask us), our study opens a celestial window to the intricate dance of cosmic bodies and human energy endeavors.

The robust correlation coefficient of 0.9865286 and the minuscule p-value further emphasize the cosmic symphony in action, suggesting that there's more to this interplanetary tango than meets the eye. The r-squared value of 0.9732386 underscores the overwhelming influence of Saturn's distance on biomass power generation in India, leaving very little room for other cosmic culprits to sneak into the correlation party.

As we gaze at the scatterplot depicting this celestial pas de deux, we are reminded that sometimes the universe doesn't just play by the rules—it orchestrates an elaborate cosmic comedy, leaving scholars and practitioners alike awe-struck and slightly unsure whether to laugh or marvel. This hearty dose of cosmic humor adds a touch of Stardust-infused levity to the usually sober realms of astrophysics and energy research.

Inevitably, as we reflect on the implications of our findings, we are compelled to assert that this cosmic liaison between Saturn and India's biomass power persistence echoes through the celestial chambers of knowledge, reverberating with a chorus of "no further research needed"! Truly, the universe has spoken—or rather, winked playfully at us through the cosmic expanse—leaving us to ponder the infinite mysteries that continue to captivate our inquisitive minds.

Correlation r = 0.9865286 (Pearson correlation coefficient)
Correlation is a measure of how much the variables move together. If it is 0.99, when one goes up the other goes up. If it is 0.02, the connection is very weak or non-existent. If it is -0.99, then when one goes up the other goes down. If it is 1.00, you probably messed up your correlation function.

r² = 0.9732386 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 97.3% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Biomass power generated in India) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., The distance between Saturn and the Sun) over the 23 years from 1999 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 5.4E-18.^Show 0.0000000000000000053688194239
The p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme.^Note More specifically the p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme if we had only tested one pair of variables one time.

But I am a p-villain. I absolutely did not test only one pair of variables one time. I correlated hundreds of millions of pairs of variables. I threw boatloads of data into an industrial-sized blender to find this correlation.

Who is going to stop me? p-value reporting doesn't require me to report how many calculations I had to go through in order to find a low p-value!
On average, you will find a correaltion as strong as 0.99 in 5.4E-16% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 186,260,688,066,424,736 random variables^Note You don't actually need 186 quadrillion variables to find a correlation like this one. I don't have that many variables in my database. You can also correlate variables that are not independent. I do this a lot.

p-value calculations are useful for understanding the probability of a result happening by chance. They are most useful when used to highlight the risk of a fluke outcome. For example, if you calculate a p-value of 0.30, the risk that the result is a fluke is high. It is good to know that! But there are lots of ways to get a p-value of less than 0.01, as evidenced by this project.

In this particular case, the values are so extreme as to be meaningless. That's why no one reports p-values with specificity after they drop below 0.01.

Just to be clear: I'm being completely transparent about the calculations. There is no math trickery. This is just how statistics shakes out when you calculate hundreds of millions of random correlations.
with the same 22 degrees of freedom, ^Note Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 22 because we have two variables measured over a period of 23 years. It's just the number of years minus ( the number of variables minus one ), which in this case simplifies to the number of years minus one.
you would randomly expect to find a correlation as strong as this one.

[ 0.97, 0.99 ] 95% correlation confidence interval (using the Fisher z-transformation)
^{Read more about the confidence interval} The confidence interval is an estimate the range of the value of the correlation coefficient, using the correlation itself as an input. The values are meant to be the low and high end of the correlation coefficient with 95% confidence.

This one is a bit more complciated than the other calculations, but I include it because many people have been pushing for confidence intervals instead of p-value calculations (for example: NEJM. However, if you are dredging data, you can reliably find yourself in the 5%. That's my goal!

All values for the years included above: ^Note If I were being very sneaky, I could trim years from the beginning or end of the datasets to increase the correlation on some pairs of variables. I don't do that because there are already plenty of correlations in my database without monkeying with the years.

Still, sometimes one of the variables has more years of data available than the other. This page only shows the overlapping years. To see all the years, click on "See what else correlates with..." link above.

Why this works

Data dredging: I have 25,153 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 632,673,409 correlation calculations! This is called “data dredging.” Instead of starting with a hypothesis and testing it, I instead abused the data to see what correlations shake out. It’s a dangerous way to go about analysis, because any sufficiently large dataset will yield strong correlations completely at random.
Lack of causal connection: There is probably^Note Because these pages are automatically generated, it's possible that the two variables you are viewing are in fact causually related. I take steps to prevent the obvious ones from showing on the site (I don't let data about the weather in one city correlate with the weather in a neighboring city, for example), but sometimes they still pop up. If they are related, cool! You found a loophole.
no direct connection between these variables, despite what the AI says above. This is exacerbated by the fact that I used "Years" as the base variable. Lots of things happen in a year that are not related to each other! Most studies would use something like "one person" in stead of "one year" to be the "thing" studied.
Observations not independent: For many variables, sequential years are not independent of each other. If a population of people is continuously doing something every day, there is no reason to think they would suddenly change how they are doing that thing on January 1. A simple^Note Personally I don't find any p-value calculation to be 'simple,' but you know what I mean.
p-value calculation does not take this into account, so mathematically it appears less probable than it really is.
Y-axis doesn't start at zero: I truncated the Y-axes of the graph above. I also used a line graph, which makes the visual connection stand out more than it deserves. ^Note Nothing against line graphs. They are great at telling a story when you have linear data! But visually it is deceptive because the only data is at the points on the graph, not the lines on the graph. In between each point, the data could have been doing anything. Like going for a random walk by itself!
Mathematically what I showed is true, but it is intentionally misleading. Below is the same chart but with both Y-axes starting at zero.
Outlandish outliers: There are "outliers" in this data.^Note In concept, "outlier" just means "way different than the rest of your dataset." When calculating a correlation like this, they are particularly impactful because a single outlier can substantially increase your correlation.

For the purposes of this project, I counted a point as an outlier if it the residual was two standard deviations from the mean.

(This bullet point only shows up in the details page on charts that do, in fact, have outliers.)
They stand out on the scatterplot above: notice the dots that are far away from any other dots. I intentionally mishandeled outliers, which makes the correlation look extra strong.
